Hot bananas, THIS. Tell them it’s to reduce crime, and when they say there’s no crime yell “EXACTLY” and mic drop. They probably won’t get it but it’ll make for a great viral clip.

My tinfoil hat take: Because they can’t sell the customer data. Break even or even loose money on the game, but make money on the data. It’s like an evil version of Costco’s hotdogs.

What’s their sales pitch? If there’s no crime to catch, why buy it? Or more directly, follow the money. Someone is getting paid, and probably sold (lied) to the decision makers. Next, inform the decision makers (I’m assuming town councillors?) that if they do this an election will be forced and they’ll all be off. And make sure to state that as fact, not a hypothetical. They need to see it as a direct and immediate consequence of a retarded decision.

I need someone to explain to me why anyone uses WhatsApp when literally anything else exists. I’ve heard “because someone I needed to communicate with uses it”, but why did •they• start using it? Who was the first user who started this snowball of doom? Messenger I get, if you’re on FB already it’s a no-brainer for normies. But WhatsApp is its own thing though? So whyyyyy?…

Me: Planing out a network subnet overhaul, doing IP space math in my head, ordering steps to minimize downtime. Also me, 10 minutes later: Trapped in my boss’s truck because I can’t find the door handle.

When I inevitably go full warlord and become King of Alberta it’ll be over for you people.

I’m getting better at this whole computer thing…
